[1.7] no Fortran

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, there was no intention to provide Fortran in
setup.exe. I noticed under gcc-4 -v that --enable-languages includes a
bogus selection of f77, which raises doubt about whether omission of
fortran is intentional.
I have built several snapshots of gcc 4.4 with fortran selected, which
works OK, better than cygwin 1.5 has worked in recent months. The core 2
laptop freezes and must be rebooted during the gcc bootstrap, but then
completes the build.
gcc testsuite hasn't behaved as well as it did perhaps a year ago. This
may be due more to changes in behavior of Windows, with XP3 and all, than
to anything in cygwin. On my Pentium D desktop machine, most of the
testsuite sections restart multiple times. My Core 2 laptop terminates
Windows before completing much of the testsuite.
Has cygwin 1.7 been withdrawn from the mirrors?
